As I do not deal with email posting I have no experience on that front, I'd be rather shocked however if you couldn't post the same ways as you can now as it's a very small change. (I can find no mention in goggles documentation that says adding sub-categories hinders the ability to reply to posts via email.)
As for the realisticness of re-sorting the group, that is an interesting part. When you switch a group to sub-catagorys all the none tagged post can be found under the "Show all topics" section. It would either have to be accepted by the group that past post effectivly archived and findable only realistically by search. (Which is already the case since the arcives are so big you really can't just look back for anything older than a month in most cases.) Or volunteers would have to be enlisted as admins to help sort out the old posts. >From my little test it seems to take between 5 (If obvious) and 13 (if you have to skim the first post) seconds for an admit to add categories to old posts So realistically it will take around 30~50 man hours to sort the current group from current to last post. If 3 people where brought on as admins to sort and spent apx 15mins a day sorting posts, it would take about 2 months to sort everything.
